And Allah's is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, that He may reward those who do evil according to what they do, and (that) He may reward those who do good with goodness.

Those who keep aloof from the great sins and the indecencies but the passing idea; surely your Lord is liberal in forgiving. He knows you best when He brings you forth from the earth and when you are embryos in the wombs of your mothers; therefore do not attribute purity to your souls; He knows him best who guards (against evil).

Have you then seen him who turns his back?

And gives a little and (then) withholds.

Has he the knowledge of the unseen so that he can see?

Or, has he not been informed of what is in the scriptures of Musa?

And (of) Ibrahim who fulfilled (the commandments):

That no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another-

And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for-

And that his striving shall soon be seen-

Then shall he be rewarded for it with the fullest reward-

And that to your Lord is the goal-

And that He it is Who makes (men) laugh and makes (them) weep;

And that He it is Who causes death and gives life-

And that He created pairs, the male and the female

From the small seed when it is adapted

And that on Him is the bringing forth a second time;

And that He it is Who enriches and gives to hold;

And that He is the Lord of the Sirius;

And that He did destroy the Ad of old

And Samood, so He spared not

And the people of Nuh before; surely they were most unjust and inordinate;

And the overthrown cities did He overthrow,

So there covered them that which covered.

Which of your Lord's benefits will you then dispute about?

This is a warner of the warners of old.

The near event draws nigh.

There shall be none besides Allah to remove it.

Do you then wonder at this announcement?

And will you laugh and not weep?
